In the classic 1969 movie “The Graduate,” Dustin Hoffman is advised to go into plastics. Were a remake to be shot today and set in Connecticut, the advice might be management. That’s going to be the career with the most demand, according to the state Department of Labor.
In its Occupations in Demand report, the labor department said by the year 2022, there will be a need for 34,422 general and operations managers. The next highest demand, at 18,024, will be for auditors and accountants.
Rounding out the top five are: financial managers, 14,801; management analysts, 12,945; and, computer system analysts, 10,594.
The five jobs with the least demand will be: cartographers and photogrammerists, 50; food scientists and technologists, 34; petroleum engineers, 14; anthropologists and archaeologists, 6; and, historians, 4.
